00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: But Who's the Boss, I don't.

99
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,680

102
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: Like growing up on sets, and and I was mesmerized

103
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 5: by the fact that you could go up a staircase

104
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 5: but nothing was there.

105
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: You know that.

106
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 4: It amount of people that go that are surprised when

107
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 4: they come to a set and they're like, wait, it's

108
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: all on the same level, but you got up the

109
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: stairs right, and you're like, that doesn't funny enough.

00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 5: you know, do a scene and go up there.

113
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I'm a part of the show.

Speaker 4: At least one was a season.

122
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: Well, they would try to put an adult up there,

123
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: like if it was just kids waiting for an entrance

124

Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

132
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,520

137
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: you want to become an actor?

138
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: Like what was the thing that I was like, this

139
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: is why I want to do it.

140
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 5: I think it was just it was always fun for

141
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 5: me to memorize lines and like become someone else, like

142
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 5: and pretend, you know. And growing up my mom so

143
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 5: I've been told I would watch commercials and then I

144
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 5: would repeat the commercial and act the commercial.

145
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: Back out, and she was like, we got to do

146
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: something with this.

147
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 5: Kid nowhere else. So yeah, it was just fun for me.

148
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 5: And I'm so grateful because it's still fun for me.

149
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 3: You know. It never became not fun.

150
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 5: And I know that you know, that can happen to

151
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 5: a lot of actors and kids who start so young

152
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 5: they sort of grow out of love with it, but

153
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 5: that never happened with me, and I'm just so grateful.

154
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 5: But yeah, I just I just wanted to have fun

155
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 5: and like pretend, you know.

156
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and your parents think about putting all three of

157
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: their kids into the business. Were they intimidated by it?

158
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: Were they go getters like we're gonna we're gonna make

159
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: our kids start.

160
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: Were your sisters doing it first and then you? Or

161
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: was it you? And then they know it's actually we.

162
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 5: Actually started around the same time because they actually guest

163
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 5: starred on Full House one episode and then they ended

164
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 5: up getting They got Sister Sister before I got Smart Guy.

165
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 5: So I think a lot of people assume that it

166
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 5: was like I started way later, but we're eight years apart,

167
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 5: but we kind of started around the same time, which

168
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 5: was just And yeah, my parents, I feel like, to

169
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 5: answer your question, they were the best of both worlds.

170
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 5: Like they were super supportive, but they weren't like stage

171
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 5: parents in any way. And like I said, we liked

172
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 5: what we were doing. We never felt forced, and I

173
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 5: think that's why they put us in it, because they

174
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 5: saw that like, oh they have something, and I think

175
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 5: they like this, and we did. But my dad was

176
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 5: in the military during it, so he my mom was

177
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 5: usually the one.

178
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 3: Taking us to our auditions and stuff.

179
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 5: Like that, but he would do it also, you know,

180
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 5: homework in the car, getting carsick, the audition because I

181
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 5: can't read it in the car.

182
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, they were just.

183
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 5: The best of both worlds, you know, super supportive, always

184
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 5: kept it fun, great at running lines with us, you

185
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 5: know what I mean. But also you know, from that

186
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 5: military background, they taught us and instilled in us not

187
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 5: only are our faith which is very important, but also

188
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 5: just the hard work.

189
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: You know, if you if you want to do this,

190
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: you gotta work hard.

191
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 5: You gotta know your lines, you gotta you gotta, you

192
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 5: gotta perform, you gotta be on set and perform. But

193
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 5: they also taught us how to separate it. So when

194
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 5: we weren't on set, we weren't on set. We were

195
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 5: just regular kids. And I think that sort of helped

196
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 5: us stay somewhat normal.

197
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's why you and your your

198
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: family were such a great fit with the full house plan,

199
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,479
Speaker 4: because that was all of our moms too, incredibly supportive

200
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 4: there every week, always taking us back and forth and

201
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 4: whatever it took.

202
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: But when we were.

203
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 4: Off, we were off your kids, and they it was

204
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 4: never like they wanted it more than we did. That

205
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 4: it was like, as long as you are loving this great,

206
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 4: if that changes, we'll like we'll figure it out, you know.

207
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: And so yeah, I think we were really fortunate in that, Yes,

208
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 4: we were fortunate in that regard that you know.

209
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 2: It was it was something that we loved.

210
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: Doing, and I think that's why that's why we still

211
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 4: do it, because it was never something that was forced

212
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 4: upon us or that was like a chore or something.

213
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 5: You know right, it never felt that way, and my

214
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 5: mom kind of just juk us for a while.

215
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: She was managing all of us.

216
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 4: I can picture your now by the way, Yeah.

217
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: I love it.

218
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 5: But she jumped right into that and she just had

219
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 5: this business knowledge that just you know, she just had it.

220
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 5: And I'm very thankful for that because, you know, as

221
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 5: an adult actor, I learned a lot. And because she

222
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 5: stood up for us at such a young age. You know,

223
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 5: I never had to really worry about not being taken

224
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: care of on a set because you know, Mama Darlene,

225
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 5: she don't play.

226
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: So so yeah, I'm very I'm very thankful for both

227
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 3: of my parents. Man, Oh my gosh, they're amazing.

228
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: I definitely remember your parents being around on the set.

229
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 3: Now.

230
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you were five when you started on Full House.

231
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 4: Do you remember, I mean, do you remember your first

232
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 4: day there? I mean again at five? Like, tell me

233
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 4: about what you.

234
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: Did on a random Tuesday thirty seven years ago, you

235
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: know what I mean? You're like, oh, yes, with a

236
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: lovely coffee.

237
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: No, I don't know. I think I vaguely did it.

238
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if I really remember this or if

239
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 4: it's just a name what I saw.

240
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I remember certain scenes, so like I remember, and

241
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 5: I don't know if it was like my first episode,

242
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 5: but I feel like it might have been like Michelle

243
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 5: and I talking about how she was doing her handwriting

244
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 5: or something, and I feel like that might have been

245
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 5: I was telling her she's got to cross her te's

246
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 5: or daughter eyes or something like that, right, and I

247
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 5: and I remember, I remember that scene, and I remember

248
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 5: being in the classroom, and I remember, you know, scenes

249
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 5: with Dave and U.

250
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: And I remember very well anytime I got to go

251
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 3: to like a new set, like I was talking about.

252
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 5: The staircase, or like if we were in a car

253
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 5: or like that was cool for me because I'm like, oh,

254
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 5: I'm not in the classroom today, like I get to

255
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 5: be somewhere up or in Michelle's room, you know. So

256
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 5: I remember the little things, but yeah, I was so young.

257
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 5: I remember school, being tutored with with the rest of

258
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 5: the kids. And I remember when like Journey and Miko,

259
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 5: I remember when it was all of us, because there

260
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 5: were some episodes where it was, you know, the whole crew,

261
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 5: and then there were some episodes where it was.

262
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: Just me and Michelle, you know.

263
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 5: So I remember very pretty vividly when it was like

264
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 5: the whole crew because it was like, oh we got

265
00:13:59,440 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 5: more kids.

266
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was always the best when you were on

267
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 4: a show, like for us, it was like hi, other people.

268
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 3: My age yeah yeah yeah yeah, so it's great.

269
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I remember. I remember that little.

270
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 4: The little like group of you guys, oh my god,

271
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 4: yeah kids.

272
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

273
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: Man.

274
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: So those those little those little moments I remember, but

275
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: I don't.

276
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 5: I don't remember like what my first day on set

277
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 5: was like or anything like that, because it's just like.

278
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, because you're still here.

279
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 3: Love it. I love it. So yeah, little things, little things.

280
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: Did you were you strictly tutored on set or like

281
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: homeschool or did you go to regular school as well?

282
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: So I think I was.

283
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 5: This is not normal for for actors in general when

284
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 5: they're kids, but I would only be tutored on set.

285
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 5: So if I wasn't working, I would go back to

286
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 5: my public school and I would be and I would

287
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 5: be yeah. See So that's why that see, that's why

288
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 5: that set was just so the full house set just

289
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 5: felt like home. It felt safe because a lot of

290
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 5: child actors don't do that. They're homeschool, they don't know

291
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 5: what it's like to be around their peers, and then

292
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 5: when they become an adult, it's like whoa, it's the

293
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 5: what is this? What's life? And it can be hard.

294
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 5: So I'm very thankful that my parents did it that

295
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 5: way because I was in sports. You know, I had

296
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 5: my friends at school. I didn't really have a lot

297
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 5: of their friends per se. I didn't still to this day,

298
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 5: my my my best friends are not in the business,

299
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 5: and and that's how it's.

300
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 3: Been for years.

301
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 5: And of course I have, you know, lovely friends in

302
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 5: this business, but my but my core group of people,

303
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 5: they're they're not actors, you know what I mean.

304
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: They may be artists and other avenues.

305
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 5: But but I think that really helped, you know, help

306
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 5: me learn about what life is like outside of a set,

307
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 5: which that did bring its complications because I would be

308
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 5: gone and then come back and then kids, I remember

309
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 5: middle school was the whole other thing because they were like, oh,

310
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 5: you could leave whenever you want.

311
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, the changing dynamics, I know, like for girls,

312
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not sure, but for girls, it was

313
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 4: like you came back after being gone for three days,

314
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: there were entirely this one and You're like, I thought

315
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 4: we thought we were cool.

316
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no, that definitely happened, especially during the Smart

317
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 5: Guy days, because that was middle school and middle schools

318
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 5: not fun.

319
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: Soddol.

320
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 4: We all done middle school being on a TV show,

321
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: I think we would definitely be like, yeah, no, that's

322
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 4: middle school sucks.

323
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 5: Anyway, I'll never forget. It was the first day of

324
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 5: like see sixth grade. I had all the friends in

325
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 5: the world, went to go shoot three episodes. A Smart

326
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 5: Guy came back. Everyone hated me, and I was like,

327
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 5: what is happening? And so those dynamics were hard, but

328
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 5: I'm grateful for them because I was that kid that

329
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 5: got made fun of at school. I was that kid

330
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 5: that had to stand up for myself at school, and

331
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 5: so I'm able to uh to have sympathy my mammy.

332
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 3: I was able to grow in that way. So I'm

333
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: grateful you.

334
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 4: Give you a thicker stand where you're like, you know

335
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 4: what you learn. I feel like you learned at a

336
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 4: much younger age. In some way, You're you're forced to

337
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 4: confront the ideas of uh, of being who you are

338
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 4: versus being who people want you to be.

339
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: So like, I think any kind.

340
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 4: Of struggle with that question a little bit earlier because

341
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 4: it's like wait a minute, like yeah, and I'm in

342
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 4: seventh grade and you guys don't actually.

343
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 5: And then learning learning how to discern who your real

344
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 5: friends are and not just for like what you do

345
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 5: you know, because I had to learn that like oh,

346
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 5: you're on a TV show. Cool, I'll be your friend,

347
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 5: but like are you really both friend?

348
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: Though? Like you do you like me?

349
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 6: Though?

350
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 4: I can't imagine going through that today because it would

351
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 4: all be about getting a picture with somebody or getting

352
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 4: into their house and record you.

353
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I don't know.

354
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 4: It's hard enough then to be like I don't know,

355
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 4: are you cool or not? Like now it's like no,

356
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 4: I don't.

357
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 3: Know how these kids do it now with social media.

358
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: I don't know how.

359
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 5: Like I I'm so grateful that we didn't have that

360
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 5: because that would have been a whole other thing.

361
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: Had enough hard enough, now, did you When you did

362
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: smart guy?

363
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 4: You did that from like ninety seven to ninety nine.

364
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: Sure you're like exactly, yep, that was the years I

365
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 4: could give you specific dates. But was it like super

366
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 4: fun for you to play like this ten year old

367
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 4: super genius kid?

368
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: Was that?

369
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean again, you loved pretending yeah.

370
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 3: It was cool. It was definitely.

371
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 5: That was cool because that was my first experience with

372
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 5: something being created around you, because that was something that

373
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 5: we just went into the network and I just was

374
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 5: taug and they were like, okay, we'll give you your shows,

375
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 5: and so that was fun to know that, like, oh,

376
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 5: this environment was sort of created around me.

377
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: But I never felt the pressure of that.

378
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 5: A lot of people ask that I never felt it

379
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 5: because you know, the home life was great, so grateful

380
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 5: for that. I always felt safe and looked after. But yeah,

381
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 5: it was fun.

382
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 3: I think the most challenging thing about that part.

383
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 5: Was knowing the definition of the words that I was

384
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 5: saying so that I could act it out properly, because

385
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 5: I can't just be saying these words that I don't

386
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 5: know what they mean. So you know, I had someone

387
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: specifically on set that would be working with me with

388
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 5: my lines to know, Okay, do you know what that

389
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 5: word means?

390
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: This is what this means?

391
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 5: So and I'm like, okay, that might change how I

392
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 5: how I how I say it, And.

393
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 4: So that that was like a like a Siri before Syria,

394
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 4: but you know what I mean, I light and look

395
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 4: up the word.

396
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 2: Like yeah, someone was like here's what that means.

397
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 5: It was s at training before I even knew what

398
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 5: SATs were. Uh, that's probably aging me too, because I

399
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 5: don't even think they have SATs anymore.

400
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: Anyway.

401
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: They have a sixteen year old and she is yeah,

402
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 2: she's taking it year.

403
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: Yeah they do.

404
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 4: But they for a while it was like optional, I think,

405
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 4: post pandemic. And now they're like, no, maybe we need

406
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 4: you should do it.

407
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: You should do this. Who knows what's happening?

408
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: Right, and now now it's digital like it used to

409
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: be filling the circle and now it's not right.

410
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 2: I can't I couldn't do it.

411
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 3: I need to fill Oh my gosh. Yeah.

412
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 5: So that was a whole thing for me because I

413
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 5: had to know what I was saying and there I

414
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 5: remember the dialogue. I think that trained me a lot,

415
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 5: whether I realized it or not, of just like you know,

416
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 5: big monologues of just words, because I would have to

417
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 5: say these huge things and didn't know what.

418
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 3: They know what they meant. So yeah, but it was

419
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 3: fun for me. I loved it.

420
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: Did it help you in school? Were you like, oh

421
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: got it?

422
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 3: Luckily?

423
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 5: Not?

424
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 3: Luckily?

425
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, it didn't help me in my SATs at all.

426
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 5: I will, I will not be telling you that score.

427
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: But it was not. It wasn't looking good. I think

428
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: it helped me. Here's the thing.

429
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 5: Because I grew up and have been in this industry

430
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 5: for so long, memorization was never a problem for me.

431
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 5: So in school I would always get good grades because

432
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 5: I could just memorize.

433
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: But when I got to college.

434
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 5: That was different. It was like, oh, no, you don't

435
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 5: really have homework. I just need you to have these

436
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 5: fourteen novels done by the end of the semester.

437
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: Right, but you don't have to come to class.

438
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 4: And so I look at you know, your interpretation, and

439
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, no, no, no, I don't know, right,

440
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 4: I don't know what this scanddron.

441
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: Just give me a scan tron.

442
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: So that was I remember, which is which is why

443
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't end up finishing college because it

444
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: was just a little, a little too much for me.

445
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 4: You know what school is like that kind of level,

446
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: like academics are not it's not so many ways to

447
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 4: be blessed and talented and creative like and some people

448
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 4: test well on some people very smart don't test great.

449
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, it didn't, it didn't.

450
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 5: It helped me in the memorization part, but not in

451
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 5: the in the comprehension part of God.

452
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: So you didn't actually take your SATs, although maybe you

453
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: would like.

454
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 3: To blame this.

455
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, so young you know, did you really did

456
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 4: you relate to Teddy? Like when you I mean, you

457
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 4: know again, you're a kid and you basically play yourself.

458
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, you're kind of cute. Do more of that.

459
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 3: I think.

460
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 5: I think the relatability of characters didn't come until Smart

461
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 5: Guy because I was in every episode, so like, yeah,

462
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 5: you would find you had more ways to find things

463
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 5: that were similar.

464
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, as a kid on a guest star you're like, yeah,

465
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 4: it's such No one knows how I felt.

466
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 3: About some episodes ago is Teddy? You know again?

467
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 5: So it was and you know also being young, so

468
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 5: but I mean playing with your friends, you know, stuff

469
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 5: like that at school, you know stuff like that. Yeah,

470
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 5: but like I think on a deeper level that you know,

471
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 5: as an adult actor, you look you look more into No,

472
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 5: I didn't really have a sense of of that.

473
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: I was just like, oh, this is the line you

474
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: want me to read? Cool?

475
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 2: Right, I mean that's yeah.

476
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 4: Child acting is very much like a lot of memorization,

477
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 4: you know, like can you stand there and long after

478
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 4: you're like, this is super exciting and do your exactly.

479
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: For many child actors, it's so great to hear that

480
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: you had a good experience, though. I just love that

481
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: makes me very happy.

482
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: Was it confusing at your age to see the Olsen

483
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: twins switching off the role of Michelle. Was that easy

484
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: to understand or were you kind of thrown back?

485
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 5: I think obviously my sisters are twins, so in that aspect,

486
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, okay, yeah that makes sense.

487
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 3: There's two of them. They split the work like, so

488
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: like I understood that. I was never like huh, like

489
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I was just like, oh, okay, right,

490
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 3: but yeah, I've never been asked that question before.

491
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 5: I wonder It's like, I wish I could go back

492
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 5: into my thinking the first time I saw.

493
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 3: That happen, and I wonder exactly what I was thinking.

494
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think having twins sisters at home kind

495
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 5: of like I don't know, it made it make more

496
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 5: sense to me maybe.

497
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

498
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, yeah, you were like, oh yeah obviously they.

499
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, yeah, you could understand it on a

500
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: basic level. Right, I'm sure that I you don't understand.

501
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: Oh well, child labor laun hours so we have twins

502
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: and you don't need to get into the weeds on.

503
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: It also made it fun for me because you know,

504
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 3: I would get to instead.

505
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 5: You know, when you're watching the show, Teddy has one

506
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 5: scene partner, Michelle, but in real life, I got.

507
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 3: To have two scene partners and they were right.

508
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 5: You know, they're two different people, so we had different relationships,

509
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 5: you know.

510
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 4: So I was like and then there was always someone

511
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 4: your age to hang out with because you know, if

512
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 4: you weren't in a scene, Ashley or Mary Kate would

513
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 4: be there to you know, you're.

514
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 5: Right, So yeah, in that sense, it was it was

515
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 5: cool because I got like, you know, I got to

516
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 5: I got to have two scene partners like.

517
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 4: In the in the day, right, did you guys did

518
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 4: you spend like a lot of time I'm with any

519
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 4: of the kids from the show, like that little crew outside.

520
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 5: Of oh, I feel I think I would see Journey

521
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 5: the most. I think, yeah, I say, out of everyone,

522
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 5: I would see Journey the most. I've talked to Miko

523
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 5: like online as an adult, which was just so cool.

524
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 3: When we've when we uh, you know, found each other

525
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: on Instagram and and all that.

526
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 5: But yeah, I'd say growing up, I would mostly see

527
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 5: Journey the most because she had such a has such

528
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 5: a big family and yeah, yeah, and they were all

529
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 5: in the business so like so it was mine. So

530
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 5: it was just like a little connection there.

531
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 3: For sure.

532
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 4: I have to ask you something because I have a

533
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 4: great love for the Muppets, Like it's it's usually if

534
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 4: we do like a stupid thing where we're.

535
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: Like, oh, let's recast you know this episode, who would

536
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 2: you pick?

537
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 4: I'm always like, I can't think of actors, but I

538
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 4: can tell you the entire cast of the Muppets, So

539
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 4: the Muppets mayhem take the floor, tell us about it.

540
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 4: How did you wind up doing that? It's always fun

541
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 4: because it's I want to be.

542
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: It's it's it's all.

543
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 5: There's very There's not a lot of things that are

544
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 5: better than talking about my experience on that show with

545
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 5: a fan of the Muppets, because it was just, hands

546
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 5: down one of the best things I've ever got to

547
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 5: be a part of. There was never not a joyous

548
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 5: moment on that set because everyone wants to be there.

549
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 5: Everyone wants to be there, and it also blows your

550
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 5: mind at the production value of it, because I don't

551
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 5: think people realize that every shot that involves a muppet

552
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 5: is a visual effect shot. So it takes it takes time,

553
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 5: and it's very meticulous. These these these muppets, and they're

554
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 5: real people. Jody, there are real Okay, yes you appreciate this,

555
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 5: so will you Andrea. But you know, the most saddening

556
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 5: thing on set was when after a take the muppet

557
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 5: would go down because you you you're in this scene

558
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 5: with this character and they're talking to.

559
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 3: You, you're talking to them, You're reacting with this character, right,

560
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 3: and then the scene ends and they just The first

561
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 3: time I saw it, I was like, yo, animal, where'd

562
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 3: you go? Someone?

563
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 5: But are our cast the muppet performers, They're They're incredible.

564
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,720
